PureBasic Forums - English

Well i have seen it, seen how they marketize it, and seen the website... and it's all quite PERFECT, polished nice... this is the first RAD tool i have ever liked and understood.

I'd love to hear your first impression opinions guys.

Oh and it's for Windows, MAC, Linux , WEB and it has a VB 6 to RB converter.

I've used Rapid-Q in the past and that was acquired by Real Software.
That's why I've heard about them. I can't say if it's good or bad since I never really used it.
I do consider it expensive but others might disagree on that.
For cross platform development you need the enterprise version costing $995 and after that $495 each year if you want to continue to receive updates.
What is a great feature about the enterprise version that it supports cross-compiling so you can output Windows, Linux and OS X applications even if you are not working on the platform itself.

I use Real Studio nearly every day and I really like it.

They are about to change their licensing model with the next release so the IDE will be free for every platform and you will be able to create and run your programs directly from it without needing to pay anything.

You will only need to buy a license if you wish to compile your programs to executables rather than run them direct from the IDE, then the pricing will vary depending on what you need:
Console
Desktop
Web
Databases

I haven't bought the web edition yet but I intend to because it eliminates the need for a client side install of your program. Web edition is not really designed for building web sites so much as easily deployable desktop style applications, what it does is compile your program to an application server and an HTML/CSS/JS user interface that runs in any browser. You use the 'Session' object to store and control anything unique to a particular user (e.g. a database connection) and apart from that it's just like creating a desktop application in Basic rather than creating anything webified.

Wait for the next release then you can try it out at your leisure.

It's divided into categories based on whos gona use the licences:
-Personal ( Hobbyists studends ) = 99 $ with half year updates and is 39$( i thought it was 49... even cheaper) for 1 year of updates.

The rest cost far more, for complete CHART go here --------------> http://www.realsoftware.com/realstudio/compare.php

BTW ENTERPRISE gives so much that it can shit a shitload of shit on Pure Basic that how many features it has, and it's aimed for companies as the charts say.

I was gona buy Pure Basic last MONDAY, but visa is a bitch and i can't and then on sunday i typed in google RAD Tools and found a list and eventually found Real Studio for second time, this time i looked at him and the price etc and im just incredibly impressed. Though when going trough examples i can't find the actual code of stuff... all i see is empty files for every function more or less, can you clear that up ?

And i heard of the new plan as well...
